Nio, I'm still using Lubuntu on a notebook P3 866mhz with 768 ram. Even if not superfast is still usable for work office. :) Try to do the same with Ubuntu! :D And by the way the computer I've just upgraded is my primary machine for my job. Lubuntu is really useful on old PC! F. -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
